Excerpt from Practical Dynamo Building: With Detail Drawings and Instructions for Winding; Giving Correct Sizes of Wire, Dimensions of Iron, Etc;, Etc;; Also Diagram for House Wiring
What wonderful changes have been wrought within the last few years in systems that were put on the market as perfect! Form and quantity of iron have been changed, sizes and quantities of wire have gone through the same transformation, and the end is not yet. The future field is Open as wide for electrical developments as the past, and I fully believe that if the fundamental principles of dynamo building were within easy reach of all, it would enable those who are engaged in the care and management of electric plants, to give the owners better service and the machines longer lives. Those who have a desire to engage in the business can do so with a thorough knowledge of dynamo construction.
Practical electric lighting is of very recent date. In 1878 Charles Brush exhibited the first lamps burning in series, and in 1881 Edison installed his first incandescent plant. But how many who are familiar with the workings of dynamos understand their construction? In presenting this little volume to the public, it is the writer's aim to give that information so much desired. The fundamental principles will be so plainly laid down that any one skilled in the use of tools should be able to build all the dynamos in this work, or, with the information it gives, should be able to repair almost any of the present systems. Every dynamo that this work contains has been built and thoroughly tested by the writer, and only information gained by actual practice will be given.

Ever since electric lighting has become a practical success, there has been a desire, on the part of the general public, to know the method of construction of dynamos. There are many able works on the subject, but far too deep and scientific to reach the class most deeply interested. This work is gotten up especially for amateur builders and non-professional men. All measurements and instructions for winding are taken from machines in actual service. Particular attention has been given to every detail of construction, that they may be thoroughly understood. This work will be of great value, not only to those who wish to build dynamos, but to superintendents, engineers and workmen who have the care of present established systems.
